MINERVO 30: Bondage

The morning came so fast. The sunlight came through the window, shining on Paul's face that was still sleeping together, there was no one beside him, there should have been Colin and Jeddy, as the three of them slept together on the floor last night, nico is alone sleeping in bed. But where did those two people go? Paul realized that when he rolled to the side, there was no body holding him back.

Slowly, Paul's eyelids opened, glancing left and right, observing the situation. Paul immediately woke up his body to sit down, and he was shocked to see that in his room, there was only Nico who was sitting on the bed while playing his cellphone. Nico was neat, he had his glasses on, his clothes were the same as yesterday; white long-sleeved shirts and white trousers, but today, his clothes looked cleaner, did he wash it before taking a shower? Paul still did not make a sound, he just looked at Nico who was bowing his head, staring at the mobile screen, with a serious face.

Feeling that someone was looking at him from earlier, Nico turned his attention from the phone screen to Paul who was sitting on the floor sheets, snorting, Nico said, "Looks like the chief delinquent has woken up from his sleeping flowers, how? Are your dreams beautiful, chief? But why did you wake up later than me? And last night did you tell your members to get up early? While you're waking up in the afternoon, it's ridiculous."

Upset at Nico's words, Paul became lazy to serve him, he just asked what he wanted to ask. "Where did that fucking Colin go! And that Jeddy Fuck!? Why did they disappear!?" Hearing the question, Nico squinted his eyes with a sharp look at Paul, then, he put his phone in his pants pocket and got up from the bed, then he stood haughty in front of his mentor.

"Are you stupid or stupid?" nico said with very piercing words to Paul. "You don't remember why they didn't come with us today? Didn't they explain it to you last night? Did you forget about that? Do I need to repeat it for you? So you can remember?" Nico's words make Paul feel like he's been slapped back and forth, and he finally remembers.

"So, yes," Paul groaned as he managed to recall the words of Jeddy and Colin last night. To be honest, Paul was a bit disappointed, he wanted to go on another adventure with them, like yesterday. If it's like this, Paul can't do anything, because Jeddy and Colin have their own world, which they have to take care of, and he can't ban it. So did Nico and Cherry, but fortunately, they were not as busy as Colin and Jeddy. "By the way, what time is it!?"

"Eight," answered Nico, who still stood arrogantly before Paul. "Colin and Jeddy left at six. I woke up at four o'clock. And how disgusting it is to see my mentor still asleep on the floor while his heroes have-"

"SILENCE! GODDAMN SHIT!" Because it was no longer strong to hold him back, Paul finally let out his curse with perfect glaring eyes, making Nico smile on his side looking at him.

"I have to admit, your screams did surprise me, but my God, I didn't expect that my mentor turned out to be this bad. Even to wake up in the morning, can't you? Totally rubbish." After saying that, Nico walked past Paul's body still sitting on the floor, walking towards the door of the room. "I'll wait for you in the living room, if you're not ready for five minutes, I'll go back to Vineas."

After saying the threat to his mentor, Nico opened the door of the room, then he brought his body out of the room, and closed the door again tightly, causing a loud buzzing sound. After he came out of Paul's room, he went down the stairs, and walked into the living room, then, he sat in the soft guest chair, alone, alone, while pulling out his phone back to read some novels on the internet, basic book maniac. Just a few minutes Nico played his phone in the guest seat, a very loud shrill sound came from outside, making his attention instantly diverted from the phone to the main doorway. And there appeared a little pink-haired girl wearing a short black dress in the doorway, and in her hand, she carried a jacket.

"hihhihih! Morningii! Nicooooo!" The figure of the girl was Cherry, she went straight inside, and sat beside Nico cheerfully. "Thank God! Cherry thinks Cherry's been left behind! Cherry is coming too late! Hihah! Cherry woke Paul up yesterday, but now who woke him up?"

"Me" answered Nico briefly. "And why did you bring the jacket you were wearing here yesterday? Wh-wh-what for? Wanna flaunt it?" Cherry shook her head.

"Open up! Openup! This is Paul's mom's jacket! Yesterday Cherry borrowed it while going to Vineas! So Cherry wants to give it back! Hihah! Well then, Cherry went to Paul's mom's room, yaaa!" After that, Cherry ran around a little, leaving Nico alone in her chair.

"Based on a strange girl," Then, Nico returned to playing her phone casually. And a few seconds later, Cherry again appeared beside him in surprise. "You surprised me, stupid. Why so soon, have you returned it?"

Cherry nodded her head in excitement. "Already, dong! Cherry gave it back! Hihahi! And what about Jeddy!? Did Jeddy give it back? Yesterday Cherry borrowed her jacket with Jeddy! When Cherry borrows Paul's jacket, Jeddy picks up Paul's jacket in the room! Hihahi! Is the guy still asleep!? Hihah! Then, Cherry will wake him up!"

When Cherry gets out of the chair to go to Paul's room, Nico holds her back by pulling her arm. Cherry was surprised, and she turned to Nico. "Jeddy's with Colin not in the room, they've been gone since morning, so don't go around in the boys' room, you idiot."

Hearing him, Cherry was stunned, her lips gaping. "EEEEEEH!? Where did Jeddy and Colin go!? Aren't we going to find a new hero today!? What are they doing, anyway!? Cherry is upset!" Nico sighed at Cherry's screech, then, he put his phone back in his pants pocket.

"From what I've heard, Jeddy plans to go home to Groen, to see his parents in prison - even if I don't know what's causing his parents to go to jail, is his family selling drugs? I don't know, for Colin, he said he was ordered by his boss to go back to work at the tavern. That's how it is, you understand? But for nothing, a stupid girl like you might understand what I'm saying."

Cherry looked at Nico's face fixedly and said, "So, that means, today Cherry will go with Paul and Nico alone?" Quickly, Cherry's expression returned carefree as before, "But that's okay! Nico is funny too! Even though his mouth is annoying, anyway! And Paul is adorable when he's screaming! Even if Cherry wants to kill him sometimes, anyway! Hihahi! Cherry is impatient! What city are we going to, huh!? And about what the next hero is like, huh!? Cherry hope she's a girl like Cherry! Men are too much! Moreover, you all smell of sweat! Hihihihi!"

Nico was offended to hear that. "You're saying I stink of sweat? How insolent." Just as Nico was about to spout spicy words at Cherry, Paul's figure suddenly appeared before them, with an appearance; wearing a long-sleeved flannel shirt patterned in black checkered, and black long jeans. "Well, that's amazing. Looks like the gang leader has arrived." Sindir Nico with a wry smile at Paul.

"Let's! So cool! Cherry looks like a prince from across the country! Hihahi! Kidding, really!" squeal Cherry with a pinch of her own head.

"The next town, huh?" Nico lifted his butt from the chair and walked outside. "What city are we going to? At least tell us which city we're going to, stupid."

"Heyyyy! Waita! Don't leave Cherryyyy!" Soon Cherry caught up with Nico and Paul who had already left her. After arriving beside Paul, Cherry asked cheerfully, "Paul! Paul's! Paul's! Did Jeddy give you your jacket back!?"

"Here, he has kept it in my closet! But why are you even asking me such unimportant questions, asshole!?"

"hihhihih! Cherry was just curious, really!" Cherry shows her radiant face to Paul.

"Which city are we going to, Paul?" nico, who was beside Paul, was walking on the sidewalk. "Don't take me to a strange city, I hate visiting a place that doesn't fit my principles. I just want to visit the same places as Vineas, peaceful and serene."

"What kind of hero are you so picky about that place! As heroes! You should have a sincere heart! No matter where it is, if there's something dangerous, you have to take care of it!" Paul immediately lectured Nico with a very tight clash.

Cherry giggled as she watched, while Nico glanced at Paul with cold eyes. "You think I want to be a hero? Didn't I tell you? I don't want to be a hero, it's a shame. But because you forced me, so I had to, you idiot."

Hearing Nico's response, successfully made the veins on Paul's forehead and neck stand out so upset. Just as Paul was about to curse at Nico, his phone suddenly shook in his pants. As a result, he held back his emotions and immediately took out and gripped his phone brutally. Then Paul exclaimed. "HURRY TO SAY WHAT YOU WANT! GODDAMN SHIT!"

"It's me, sir," Roswel's polite voice sounded from across the phone, making Paul's anger somewhat subside. "It seems like today you seem very energetic, Sir. I'm glad to hear it."

"Enough bases! Quickly give me the information!"

"Before that, I want to say, happy birthday, to you, Sir. I know it's too late, but I really want to say it. Congratulations on turning eighteen, sir. Hopefully you can get more happiness this year" Roswel chuckled. "Well, I know you hate pleasantries, then I'll get straight to the point. So, according to my observations, your target this time is living in Aljelvin City, a beautiful girl-like man, his hair is very long purple, and yet, it seems like he is a slave, a boy, because on the neck, both legs and hands are shackled handcuffs. Too bad. And apparently, he had a very cruel employer, and as it sounds, he was often called 'Coko' by his master, sir. Is this information enough, sir?"

"Yes! Thank you!"

For the first time, Paul thanked Roswel after getting the information, usually Paul would hang up the phone unilaterally after he got the information, but he seemed to change a little. "Thank God. You can hang up now, sir." And Paul immediately turned off the phone, then put the phone back into the pocket of his pants.

"Paul, did you talk to Roswel? What's he saying?" Nico immediately asked Paul with eyes that showed curiosity after his mentor finished calling.

While Cherry jumped up and down in excitement. "So! So then! So then! What did Roswel say, Paul!? Tell Cherry! Is the next hero a woman? Hope so! Cherry is looking forward to that! Hihihihi!"

"We're going to Aljelvin City! And the next hero is a man! Name's Koko!" Suddenly Cherry's face was immediately irritated to hear it. "But, Roswel said, even though he was a man, he had a girl-like appearance. Her hair is long and her face is beautiful." Suddenly, Cherry's cheerful face returned, she was happy to hear it.

"YEEEY! And finally! Cherry is so happy! Even if he is a man! But there is a female side! And Cherry likes it! Hihahi! Let's go to Aljelvin! Paul's! Niko!" cherry shouted with a wide smile, the girl looked impatient.

"Aljelvin City, huh?" Nico recalled something, and his eyes immediately rounded perfectly when he got something shocking from his memory. "Ah, I remember it now. Aljelvin is the only city in the country that legalizes the practice of slavery, right? It was a very bleak city. I read it in books and on the Internet. It's disgusting."

Cherry was surprised to hear that. "really!? Let's not-don't. Our hero is a-"

"Yes!" Paul immediately made a sound by nodding his head. "Our new hero is a slave in Aljelvin." Nico and Cherry heard it.
